I wish for you... Comfort on difficult days, Smiles when sadness intrudes, Rainbows to follow the clouds, Laughter to kiss your lips, Sunsets to warm your heart, Gentle hugs when spirits sag, Friendships to brighten your being, Beauty for your eyes to see, Confidence for when you doubt, Faith so that you can believe, Courage to know yourself, Patience to accept the truth, And love to complete your life I asked the Lord to bless you As I prayed for you today To guide you and protect you As you go along your way.... His love is always with you His promises are true, You know He will see us through So when the road you're traveling on Seems difficult at best God will do the rest. (Poem from God is Groovy.com ) I don't wish these things for you. I pray these things gor you now, in 2009, and many, many years to come. Create your own custom glitter graphic!

Greetings everyone, I pray that everyone had a great, fulfilled, and blessed Christmas. My Christmas was great. Christmas Eve services at my church was such a joy and blessing. A lot of families and people were bless and receive great joy in praising the Lord. I am part of the church choir and we sang our hearts out through the power of the Holy Spirit. I got connected with beautiful people whom I will definitely call friends for life. It's such a blessing when you can connect with other Christians (who share the same faith as you) and have fun and laugh in the Lord. Stay tuned for pictures!! I was able to visit some family members. And most importantly, spending time at home just doing nothing, not being busy, just relaxing with my feet up. :) This has been the first Christmas where I was not caught up in buying a lot of Christmas gifts for the sake of commercialism. It was about getting closer with God and giving more of myself to Christ and being a blessing to others. It was not...

Police Emergency This is the true story of George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, who was going to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the shed. George opened the door to go turn off the light but saw there were people in the shed in the process of stealing things. He immediately phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and George said no and explained the situation. Then they explained that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be there when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again. "Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them all." Then he hung up. Within five minutes three squad cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the police...

I found this leaf in my yard last week. And I thought I would take a picture and share it with everyone. I was surprise by how big it is. If I am not mistaken, I think this is a maple leaf. Please correct me, if you think or know what kind of leaf this is. Happy WW!!! Your Sister in Christ, Toia

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. - 1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT When God places a business or idea in our hearts, it is so easy to become enthusiastic at first. You become very excited and begin to visualized the successful ending result. You even begin to map out goals and plans on how you are going to bring the vision that God placed in your heart to past. As you begin initating your plans to accomplish your goal, everything seems to be falling into place. But then, all of a sudden, you hit a dry spell! Nothing is going according to plan. Every door you try to walk in seems to slam right in your face. Things seem to be getting harder and harder. Then you find yourself not so excited about the plan God want you to carry out. You begin to question your relationship with God as far as whether or not the vision God gave you is truly of and from Him. ...

Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name [was] Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored [one], the Lord [is] with you; blessed [are] you among women!"

Yesterday, I was given a gift that really bless my spirit. At the preschool where I work, each one of the teachers has a mailbox that we check from time to time to see about important announcements and so forth. But anyway, when I checked mine yesterday, I had a gift waiting for me inside my mailbox. It was a candle (strawberry shortcake scent) and a card saying, "Thank You..." A fellow teacher gave it to me just to say "thank you for being you" The gift really touched my heart. This is the front of the card. It says ..."To Thank You.....Out of the abundance of a giving heart...gifts of joy. This the inside of the card.. (Left side says: " Toia, I just wanted to say thank you for your sweet spirit and encouraging words. You brighten up the room [my classroom] that you are in. Thank You for being a light. You are a blessing." ) (Right side says: "Thinking of you and wanting you to know you're appreciated for all you are and all you do....
